Personal review of the Nexus S KiDiGi Desktop Dock

KiDiGi dock
I got tired of samsung taking forever to release a desktop dock, so I went and bought the kidigi and have been using it for a week now. I have to say the dock is amazing . It fits the phone perfectly and holds it in tight . My test for a good dock is if i can place the phone to charge when im drunk, and i have to say its a good dock. . I had a seidio and it was a pain getting the micro usb to line up.

maybe a few picture of the dock?

Sorry cant show you phone on the dock, i dont have a camera besides my phone.

Does the dock fit the phone very tightly or would there be room for a silicone case?
Looks good though. I wondered about mounting one of these permenantly in the car instead of using a brodit active holder

This fits really tight and no room for case. Would be a really good car mount, the phone doesn't move at all, but don't know about permanently mounting something to a car.

using this as a car mount is actually a good idea, just use some strong velcrow. but the downside is that you wouldnt be able to the 3.5mm headphone jack due to the design. what a pitty for people like me who use aux for audio

Does this dock cause the Nexus S to go into dock mode?

I have dock from Odds and Pods.
It looks exactly the same as one described in this thread but no KiDiGi label on it.
Few things which might be helpful for some.
Mine phone did not went into dock mode until I modified dock:

Dock working fine with Best Skin Ever attached - so there is some room for protection also.
I would not recommend this dock to use it in the car. Not in the place where I live.
If you have only smooth roads, no bumps at all - then yes - maybe. But your phone is not hold in docking station by anything but small USB plug.
Imagine what will happen with this on some bumps.
Consider buying this one for car instead:

http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5694
Also I have a question to thread author.
Does your dock working OK in USB transfer mode?

Mine just showed up and I was pleasantly suprised of the build quality. Fits perfect.
I got the one with the spare battery compartment.
Best part about it is that it charges the phone, syncs usb, and charges the spare all at the same time rather than one at a time like some of my older versions i've bought.
If it only had an audio out jack in the back it would be the ultimate.
Ordered it here but can be found cheaper with some research: http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5692 showed up in 10 days

So the usb sync works, transfer files, on the one you got? Just want to make sure since the other person said it only charged his phone (unless I read it wrong).

Works perfectly fine.... They ship it with 2 different cables, 1 is obviously for data transfer and the other is for charging... you can tell because one is thick vs the other very skinny... so I hope whoever said it didn't work didn't get their wires crossed up!

Could you please tell us where you could find it cheaper ? Because, personally, I find that is has a very nice design compared to other alternatives, so I would really like to buy it. Preferably cheaper than 27$. So, again, please tell us where to find it cheaper. Thanks !
Also, on their site, it says that under DC and USB charging, the output is 500mAh. My Nexus S DC charger says 700 mAh. How is that going to affect the charging time ? Almost +1/3 of what it is right now ?
I also understood from other sources, that USB can only give a max output of 500 mAh, is that true ? So the only down-side for this dock is the 500 mAh DC output... it would've been better if it had 1A.

Can't help you out with the rest, but yes, USB ports can only output up to 500 mAh.

Bump. Does the phone enter dock mode?

Does this fit with the I9023 also?

So, where do you find it cheaper ?

Anyway, I found it on shop.brando.com (I think it's a replica of the KiDiGi model). Unfortunately, I can't post links here, so if you want to find it, do a search for "Google Nexus S USB Cradle" on their site. It's 18$ only for charging the phone and 25$ with a slot for charging the battery. That's compared to 27$ and 31$ respectively for those 2 from KiDiGi.
Also, apart from the KiDiGi models and these replicas, I've also found the chinese ones on eBay. Those are around 10$ each, but I don't quite recommend those. They also come with a 500 mA DC charger each, so there's nothing good here, opposed to the 1A charger that comes with the KiDiGi and those replicas on brando shop.
Hope this helps somebody.

Would it be a connector block like the current usb one? I would be interested if that was the case, not very interested if it's got a cable on it.

but for the 30 pin connector instead.
The normal dock doesnt feel good to carry around because it's a dock. If it were a box like that it could have all 5 ports (usb in, usb out, line out, hdmi out, power passthrough)

this would be ideal!!!

Hello
Hxcomchina do you deliver to Portugal, because I am interested in one cable OTG and in one pdmi PDMI to Micro USB connector and if you sell I want a rubber outer box, of course all for Dell Streak 5.
Regards

Chargers?
Any chance you can throw together some 5.35v 2A chargers? my original charging brick got to me broken and can't find a source for replacement =\
US Electrical outlet to USB, if it's possible, 2x USB outputs at 5.35v/2A each would be fantastic!
Thanks
L4T

can these be delivered to Pakistan..???

what are some of the uses for this?

I really really really need a PDMI extension cable so that I can connect to the Dell dock remotely.
I have all the connectors but my soldering skills fall short on these itty bitty contacts.

I am very interested in helping you to develop an alternative to the Dell Streak OEM dock. i actually just began tearing mine apart, with the intention of replicating the throughput of the dock in to a short Y cable with (type D) micro HDMI female, and MICRO-B usb female port.
I am a Mechanical/Electrical Engineer, adept at board layout and design, as well as mechanical design software, specifically Solidworks.
P.M. me and i will give you my EMAIL address, and hopefully we can work something out. Thank you.

another point, as far as i can see, no dell streak PDMI breakout board exists, so maybe that would be something to look in to as well. it would most likely take under an hours work to complete the PCB file for a breakout board.

It's not for my streak 7...why? Really I cannot use it?

Id love some sorta cable that I could attach to the dock that could let me hook it up without being in the cradle. (This way if I have a rubber case on it, I could still use my dock since it wont fit in the dock with the case on)

Any headway on doing this or on maybe doing something like a lapdock port? That would be awesome to have for our Streaks, especially if it had the ability to fit both Streaks with and without cases.

Connectors
Hi..
What is the latest news on these connectors??
Thanks & regards

Cheap dock with USB audio out

I have this item and can confirm it works.
EZOPower Dock Cradle
The phone does not sit in it super snug, but it is tight enough on a solid surface. I wouldn't try it in a car!
The charging plug in the bottom of the base is adjustable, and should allow usage with most cases.
Make sure you go to Settings/Accessory and click on 'Audio output mode' to enable the audio out of USB.
I have this on my nightstand and it is connected to my stereo clock radio. The audio is good with the volume all the way up on the phone, otherwise there is some static that comes through the speakers.

This is just what I was looking for but it probably won't fit with my Defender case. Anyone know otherwise?

Unless the case is very thick on the USB end, it should fit. The USB connector on the dock slides a good 1/4" or more from front to back.

Well, the Defender does have a large bottom But, I'm pretty sure an exact knife/dremel and some plastic welding should be able to accommodate. Looks like the USB plug is pretty flush and I'd need it to stick out 1/4”-3/16” to make a solid connection. Unfortunately, this dock seems like the only one that is open enough to run larger vases. At least it's cheap enough to try out

Well, for $20 I wouldn't call it cheap enough just to try it out if you are not sure if it's going to work I prefer $3 ebay cases to go under dremel surgery (like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Dock-...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item5af01ebc65) although I had to make an excuse with that other $15 charger/dock from tmart for ZL9300.
But this particular EZOPower dock looks very good with plenty of room and that padding in the back can always be removed (I assume) to give extra room for a case. Regarding Defender there is another problem. The micro usb port cover is very thick and might be in the way when you flip it backward to fit inside of any cradle/dock. I read somewhere of people actually complaining that even a pressure of that port cover on the usb charging cable loosens up micro-usb connector on the phone. So, unless you cut off that port cover, I'm not sure how it's going to work with Defender case.

Oh yeah, I cut that thing off as soon as it came out of the package. Makes it much easier to dock in my car with my ProClip.
Also, that eBay dock you linked doesn't have 3.5mm audio out. That's what I'm after with a desk dock.

OP stated that you can enable audio out of USB, just need an adapter/splitter I guess? At least that's how I understood his post cause that dock doesn't have audio out and he suggested its not for the car.
Btw, I don't think I came across cables with micro-usb going to the phone and usb/audio out splitter on the other side. Does it exists? Also, do you need to use OTG adapter for N2 to be a host or not?
To OP, how do you connect it to your radio?

Yes, iBolt's xprodock now ships with one, which should supposedly be available separately in about 4 weeks, and there are cheap ones on eBay which apparently don't work on aosp/cm based roms but are fine on Samsung based roms

I ended up getting an Amzer Piano Dock. It looks like the same dock as this, except the description states that it works with most cases whereas this dock's description says it works with thin cases only. I'll report back later today if it works with the defender case
-edit- the Amzer works with a Defender if your happy to take a dremel to your new $30 dock and like plastic welding or hot glue lol.

Nexus 10 Dock

Hey everyone!
I really wanted a dock for my Nexus 10 but since none were available I decided to build my own. After posting pictures of it here, there were a lot of people that wanted to buy it. So I decided I would start selling them. I ended up selling a bunch and people seem to really like them. If you're interested, you can order one from Amazon.

Faster Charging - Built-in power connector to charge your tablet through a magnetic pogo connector. The tablet charges about 25% faster and is much easier to use than a microUSB cable. A USB cable coming out of the dock plugs into the wall adapter that comes with the tablet so this can be used anywhere in the world where the Nexus 10 is sold.
Easy Docking/Undocking - Since the connector is magnet based, there is nothing to plug in. The magnets auto align the tablet to the charging pins. This is as close to wireless charging as you're going to get with this tablet - just pick it up when you need it.
Weighted - Added steel weights inside the dock provide for increased stability and security while the tablet is docked. Also makes undocking the tablet easier by keeping the dock still. However, for best results, undocking the tablet by pulling horizontally as described in the tip above is still recommended.
Angled Design - For hands free movie watching, surfing the web, or playing a game all while the device is charging.
Here are some pics
Thanks for all the support guys! This was initially a fun little weekend project that took on a life of its own and went bananas, but I like bananas so it's all good

excellent write-up. Thank you very much.

You should send your résumé to Samsung. :good:

Awesome! Let me know how it works out. The reason I didn't use the standard dock was because there's no USB port on the back, but I guess you could just run the cable out from the ac plug hole.

They are inexpensive enough that I ordered one to see what I can do with it. Kind of reluctant to mod the POGO cable though.

Yeah it's very stable. The best part is that I can pick up the tablet without having to hold the dock down by just pulling it towards me from the top and it easily disengages from the connector.

If you don't want to mess with the POGO, it's gonna have to sit kind of high to fit in the dock. It might still work (haven't tried it), but maybe just look a little awkward. The other end of the POGO you can just run out of one of the holes of the standard dock, which I think is what redthunda is going to try.
Would love to see your guy's ideas and pics if you ever end up building something.

My standard dock came today. It has a lot fewer internals to deal with, but same basic process you described so well above. For the cord, I just cut a slot in one of the holes in the back. My tablet needs to be in a case or have a shim in back to maintain contact with the POGO plug, but it works well enough. Thanks for the great idea! Here are a few pics:

Very cool. I'm gonna try to angle the pogo cable so the tablet rests on the back.

Let me know how it goes. Try removing material from the rear of the connector slot to get the plug closer to the stand. The way friction holds the plug in place, I don't think you can do too much to adjust the angle. There is a piece of rubber cushion over the slot on the surface of the dock which you can toss or cut to widen its opening also. I used double faced tape to reattach the cushion as well as the rubber pad on the bottom.
I made a total mess trying to remove the Toshiba logo from the front, so I printed off a Nexus 10 logo and taped it to the front like a sticker. Hint: Don't use acetone as it eats the plastic too.
Cutting the POGO plug is delicate. I nicked the covering on two wires which I then covered with electrical tape just as a precaution.

I got my pogo cable in today, and I decided to pop the casing off (using a tiny flathead screwdriver) and use sandpaper to wear it down rather than saw it for a more precise cut. It worked out pretty well! Here's some pictures of the pogo cable disassembled. I sanded off the plastic on the bottom all the way up to the two plastic pins that keep the assembly together.

LG G2 Micro SD (Development)

Hey guys, some of you might remember my post about adding expandable storage to the LG G2 (Link to old post: https://plus.google.com/112350291283202736057/posts/2z1wLqRc8Fg )
Well i'm back and I have done some improvements to make it a lot smaller
With this you will be able to put any micro SD card up to 64gb into this device as well as you will be able to plug it right into your computer with the USB side
Link to all pictures​I'm also thinking I might make a version where it is built into a case, because my aim is to get it as small and unnoticeable as possible without losing any comfit, and feeling like you have something attached to your device
What are your thoughts about my idea?

Uhh, I don't like naked wires, but that's probably just me. Have you considered something like the Dash Micro from meenova.com?
Check it out here.

It's pretty cool you did it either way!

I love your ideas and concept. I recommend getting the otterbox case for this phone and mod the case to let the otg stay in and protected.
I'm actually interested in taking the back cover off and using an extended battery back and holding the otg that way.

Yea like I said this is still in development and once it's done it won't have any exposed components. They reason why I made this I because this is supose to be a semi permanent solution so you can always have it plugged into your you phone (except when charging) that way you can have mass storage, where with the meenova it's way to big to have it keeped attached to your phone with out it breaking off

I love your ideas and concept. I recommend getting the otterbox case for this phone and mod the case to let the otg stay in and protected.
I'm actually interested in taking the back cover off and using an extended battery back and holding the otg that way.

That's a good idea for incorporating it into a case, the picture that I have with it inside a case, is just a generic case I have and it just happened to fit under it

Yeah. However it will be a bit of a task to charge the device. I'm going to research on how to possibly get wireless charging on it. Maybe even incorporating a solar charger.

Funny you should say that, I actually have a micro usb wireless charging pad, I could try put the two together, because they should work

Awesome!!! Search on eBay and there should be micro usb to female usb and male micro usb.

No I want to keep it small remember, I will just solder the 2 to the 1 micro usb

Ahh I see. Good idea. My only concern is the power and possibility of shorting maybe? I'm very curious to see Edgar you come up with. That will be awesome.

Na should be fine Although I somehow screwed my board about 3 hours ago messing around with it (Not related to this project) haha, so i need to make another one, should get the components withing the week

I've also put some thought into adding an SD card into my case (case mate tough case).
The meenova is the smallest micro sd card read i have found thus far... without its case it could fit inside my case pretty well, even better probably if i cut a piece out of the phones backplate. Together with some flatflex cable and a pcb mountable micro sd plug it should work fine.
The Problem is power. How do we charge it? Plugging in and out the sdcard cable would make less nice and an additional charging coil (which should fit too) would cap the charging rate 500mA.
After all that thinking i just stuck the meenova to my keychain ;P

Fantastic solution, please continue the develop. Possibe to merge micro-sd slot (reader) and wireless reciever? (on G2 there is only one usb slot)

Ow nice idea
Nice idea, I found this, if you be able to strip the plastic you can get a slimmer project. I'll do it to mine and incorporate with my armor case. When it arrives... about two mounths (Brazil sux in shipping times). I'll post some images here.

Thx to share your ideas!

Some time ago I bought:

It doesn't look compact and impressive, but after removing case... we get really slim card reader, easier to pack into case or smth

DarkN3ss61,
any news? Wireless reciever and micro sd reader combo?
What about this?

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been very active here lately and posting updates. Well so far I have my replacement parts and I have rebuilt it because I fried my last board. I havent had much time to try get the wireless charging working with it, but i'm eager to start on that now. Although i did get a micro USB splitter and had both plugged in and they where working, so I should be able to make them as one

Its a good idea but I think this project wont be battery-friendly

i recommend using an additional battery instead of wireless charging. Additional battery+micro sd in a case will be awsome.

Ha I has the same crazy ideas, glad I'm not the only one...
I think it's easier just using a usb otg converter and a tiny usb stick, for example this one which has micro usb pass through so you can charge your phone through it http://m.ebay.com/itm/321608143459?_mwBanner=1
